The new programme adopted by the Maine
Knights is partly good and partly bad. The
taking Of the control Of labor troubles out of
the hands Of the local assemblies where they
occur and the discontenancing of strikes
are good. Bat the endorsement of the boy
colt under any circumstances is bad. The
local assemblies are generally too deeply in
terested in the labor troubles they attempt
to settle to take anything like an impartial
view of them. The State board, which has
not participated in the trouble. is much more
likely to correctly judge Of the merits of the
case and to apply the proper remedy. The
boycott is method of warfare which ought
mot to be tolerated in civilized society. 1t is
closely analogous to the method employed
by the highwayman to make his victim dis
gorge, and is not one whit more defensible.
The courts in several States have already
declared it to be illegal, and there is not much
doubt but that the Supreme court of Maine
if case should come before it would render
a similar decision.

The great strike in New York has now
reached point where it closely resembles
the famous strike ON the Gould system of
railroads last spring. The 'longshoremen
who have stopped work have no grievance.
Their wages and their hours Of work are sat-
isfactory. They have struck simply in ODE
dience to orders issued by a labor organiza-
tion. UnooupJeaIy u large part OF them are
really idle against their will, but they are
compelled by their allegiance to their or
ganization to obey orders, no matter whether
they like them or not. OF course the purpose
of ordering them out is to cripple the steam
ship companies, in the hone that the latter
may bring pressure to bear on the coal COM
panies which will compel them to yield to
the handlers. 1t is precisely the same ma
n@uvre by which Martin Irons undertook to
coerce the Texas Pacific to accede to the de-
mands of its employees Instead of a strike
it is really boycott in its indirect FORM
The game is to make it hot for all the corpo-
rations that depend upon coal to carry on
their business, so that they may bring press
ure enough ON the coal companies to compel
them to yield. 1t might seem that if the coal
companies continue obstinate, and the mem
bers Of the labor organizations obedient. a
very large per cent of the industries of New
York city could be paralyzed by this process.
But the labor organizations contain only
part of the laboringmen. There is a great
army Of workingmen who are not Knights
and are not controlled by that order A
great many of them are unemployed and are
only too glad to ill the places which the
Knights vacate when they can do so without
danger of physical injury. The places Of
the striking coal handlers could no doubt be
filed in very short time if the new men
could be assured that no harm would come
to them. The Missouri Pacific Company
had little difficulty in getting all the men
wanted as soon as protection was guaranteed
them. Sooner or later in a law abiding com
munity it will always be possible to give this
guaranty. A strike of unslxilled working
men when obstinately resisted is therefore
almost certain to fail, and resort to such
tactics as were introduced by the st. Louis
labor assemblies and are now being copied
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1887-01-29

1t is every mans right to stop work, but
it is no mans right to compel another person
to stop work. The coal handlers acted within
the law when they withdrew from the coal
docks and refused to do any more work IN
less they were paid higher wages. Ne matter
how much suffering might result from their
conduct the legality of it could not be ques-
toned. But now by intimidation and threats
they are seeking to prevent other men from
taking the places they have voluntarily left.
That is an infringement of the rights of 9TH
ers, which ought not to be tolerated an in
slant. If the police cannot give adequate
protection to the men who want to work,
the militia should be called out. Itmakes no
difference what the merits Of the handlers
controversy with the coal companies may be-
no matter if the companies are altogether in
the wrong and the strikers altogether in the
right-any attempt of the strikers to carry
their point by unlawful means must be frus-
trated.

about as many irons in the fire now as she

on the subject have in the main been concil-

has been none of the defiance in them that is

readers of that great work will not fail to
trace its influence on the author of Agatha
Boston: Roberts Brothers; Portland: Lor-
ing, Short & Harmon.
About Money and Other Things is the
title of collection of ten papers written by
Mrs. Muloch- Craik. In About Money the
author boldly asserts that the so-called high
er education of women is of little Importance
compared with practical, ordinary business
education-that is, every girl should be
taught the true value and wise expenditure
OF money: to keep accounts and balance
them; to write brief and intelligent bust
letter; and should have some knowledge of
banking business-checks, dividends, ETC.
Possessing this knowledge woman avoids
that HELPLESS dependence which is too often
the condition of women in money matters,
and becomes help instead of hindrance to
her friends. 1t is a paper that every woman
would do well to read with attention. OF
the ''other things" Genius. and Life and Its
Worth are lay sermons containing much
sound common-sense and truth. Six Happy
Days is delightful sketch of the experience
of the author and six girls in House-boat
ON the Thames. Kiss and be Friends tells Of
Whitsuntide wander through Dublin and
Killarney, and brighter picture is drawn
OF the writer's eountrymen than one often
sees. The remaining five sketches are all
good and help make up a volume both inter
esting and valuable. New York: Harper &
Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short g. Har-

Two useful text books come from the same
publishing house. The Nation in a Nut
shell, rapid outline of American history by
George Makepeace Towle, the well known
historian of young people, is an invaluable
little volume. Hints on Language in connec-
ton with sight reading and writing in inter-
mediate and primary schools which has been
carefully prepared by Mr.. S. Arthur Bent,
superintendent of the public schools of Clin-
ton, Mass, meets long felt want, and will

Col. Higginson's delightful little brochure,
The Monarch of Dreams, gives us another
surprise at the remarkable ease with which
this charming writer lends his graceful and
facile pen, by turns, to the daintiest fancies
and imaginings that can be put into musical
verse, the sad problems of suffering hu-
mainly, or the most practical work-a-day
question. OF this tiny volume one critic
truly says that it gives 'in a nutshell world
of philosophy; and no one who reads it will
fail to admit its power and originality, and
its depth of insight (Boston Lee & Shep-
ard; Portland Bailey & Noyes.)

The COMPLETE SUCCESS of
our UNUSUAL MARK DOWN

three weeks ago, shows plainly
that the people of Portland and

FORCED SALE of any kind of

The defeat Of Mr.. G0schen will for some
time at least devolye almost entirely upon
the Hon. w. II. Smith, the command of
the Tory forces in the House of Commons.
On the other side are Gladstone and Sir Yer
non Harcourt besides the Irish leaders. and
against these men Mr.. Smith will have to
cope in debate almost single handed. the on
ly man who is likely to render him any ma
terlal assistance being Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. 1t is pretty safe to predict that the

On the first page is plan showing the
changes in the boundary lines of the city
which would be made by Mayor Chapman's
and Col. Moore's bills. Probably Col Moore
has introduced his bill with no expectation
of its passage, but merely for the purpose of
trigging Mayor Chapman's bill. There are
some substantial reasons why the line pro-
posed in the latter bill should be adopted.
The territory included by it is looked out for
now by the city, lighted by city lights, and
If fire should break out there undoubtedly
the city fire department would be expected
to put 1t out. The owners of the property
desire its annexation to the city, and the on

nothing but a poll tax.

Miss Preston's A Year in Eden is the most
elaborate and lengthy work of fiction which
this writer has given to the public. Like all
her writings. it is thoroughly well done, and
both entertaining and interesting. The sto-
ry is rather sad one, but full Of delicate re-
inement, keen analysis and fresh and origin
al character; and the simplicity of style,
which never verges upon dizziness, is one of
its greatest charms. One should never spoil
story for the prospective reader by limiting

MIR. Bishops novel, The Golden Justice,
has already achieved so wide popularity
with the readers of the magazine in which it
first appeared that praise at this late day
seems superduous. 1t is certainly a clever,
bright and thoroughly readable story, and,
beyond that, it is Of so fine quality, from
purely literary standpoint, as to give its au-
thor higher place in the list of fctionists
than he has ever reached before. This is no
small praise. considering what ample recog-
milton has already been made of Mr.. Bish-

OBITUARY..
MRS. III. E. ROBBINS.

Ida May Kingman was born in Salem,
Wis.,, where her youth was spent and
where in the year 1880 she married Mr..
Herbert E. Robbins.
In the fall Of 1884, owing to Mrs. Rob-
bins failing health, Mr.. Robbins re-
moved to Georgiana,. Florida, where
Mrs. Robbins gained in health and
strength, and in the summer of 1886
visited her relatives and friends in Wis
consin. The progress of her disease be-
came again quite marked, and she re-
turned to her family in the fall, only to
await, in much suffering, her last great
change. While living 10 Georgiana she
was too weak to engage actively in social
or religious work, but i'll her old home
her place in Sunday school and church
was seldom vacant, and she was always
ready to use her voice and musical tai
ent in the Masters service.
She died July IL, 1887, in her thirty
first year, leaving to mourn for her in
her immediate family little Harry, too
young to realize his loss, and devoted
husband and his mother, who loved and
cared for her with an affection that
knew no firing.
know not why the mornings glorious shining
Was yelled ere noon,
Nor why the fragrant garlands love was twining
Should fade SO soon.
But this 1 know; though God his why and wherefore
Does not disclose,
His pu- poses are ever best, and therefore
My Jesus knows"

RACINE ITEMS.

The list Regiment of the Wisconsin
National Guard will encamp at Racine
next week. A grand military ball will
be held at the rink OH the evening OF
August 4.
Mr.. Thomas Brearley died on the 21st
inst, aged rs years. He had been a
resident of Racine since 1916.
Mr.. r. L. Hallock died on the 25th
inst. He had lived here since 1912.
The residence of Judge Hand was en-
tered by burglars on Monday night and
a gold watch and $50 taken.
Mrs. Schwartz, wife of Aid. Schwartz,
died on the 25th inst.
Fifteen tons of hay on the farm ofGeo.
Flifen, one mile south of Western Union
Junction, were burned on Tuesday by a
spark from passing locomotive.
The intake pipe for the water-works
company is completed, and the works
viii soon be ready to stand the test pre-
scribed in the ordinance. The job of
putting this intake pipe into the lake
was one of the greatest feats of sub
marine engineering ever accomplished
in the United States. The 24-inch pipe
has been laid for Ii miles into the lake
ten feet below the bed, in very work
manlike and satisfactory manner.
A number of houses have been enter
ed by burglars during the past two
weeks, but they failed in making any
big hauls.
A mild sensation has been produced
by the announcement of the clandestine
marriage, last winter, of two estimable
young people well known in social circles
here, Miss Sara Rowlands and Mr.. Ed
ward Cahoon. Itappears that the younf
couple has been engaged for two year.
or more, but the lady's parents were de
sirous that several years more mus
elapse before the expectant pair could
become one. Under these circum
stances the lovers took matters in theil
own hands, and were quietly married il
Kenosha in February last by Rev. E. 0
Taylor. Mr.. Cahoon, who lives in Kan
sas City, has just returned to claim hi
bride. and they now make public thei
marriage, and are receiving the congra
ltulations of their many friends.
Mr.. John G. Haines, formerly we'll
known Racine boy, now a prominen
merchant of Rapid City, Dakota, wa
married to Miss May Loveland, on tn
18th inst, at the home of the BRIDE
parents, in Rapid City.

While Mr.. T, C. Binninger and family
were returning home from a drive in
the country on Wednesday evening.
their mare took fright at the peals Of
thunder and flashes of lightning and
made lurch to one side, pulling one of
the lines out of Mr.. Binninger's hands.
He attempted to get hold of it and was
pitched out on his head, the wheel of
the cart running over his shoulders and
side. He held on to the other line. the
horse dragging him along, and Mrs.
Binninger, supposing he was hurt,
screamed, which frightened the mare
still more, and she started at full speed.
The youngest child, less than yeaa old,
was thrown out over the dashboard, and
had her forehead badly cut. The other
girl, about four years old, was thrown
several feet, but fortunately escaped I'M
hurt. On coming around the corner
at st. Matthew's church the cart was
swung with great force, throwing Mrs.
Binninger out, and on to the sidewalk.
She was severely injured, but it is
thought none of her bones are broken.

LOOK AFTER THE GRAPES.

On the first appearance of mildew,
dust the vines literally with a mixture
of one part sulphur to five of air-slaked
lime. This can be done by hand. Re
member it is a preventive rather than a
cure, and after the vines are badly
widowed it is too late. And for the rot,
cut out and destroy all affected berries,
as soon as perceived, to prevent the
fungus from multiplying and spreading.
The light MANILA two-pound bags used
By retail grocers are suitable for drawing
on over clusters of grapes for protection
against mildew, insects, rot, etc. They
are secured somewhat loosely by pins or
q few stitches Of thread. Such protec-
ton pays well on choice kinds.
